I Carnt Spel

30/May/2006

On a forum that I have
recently been residing. Having recently been
discussing whether or not university lecturers should strike for
extra pay in England, I have been dumb-struck by the sheer illiteracy
of university students.

How dare people excuse themselves with
"Dyslexia" or being bilingual for their illiteracy. I am both the above,
but the difference between myself and themselves is that I bother to use a
dictionary and proof read my text (on occassion).

I find it nothing less than insulting that
someone claiming to be a university student in this country (England), is
completely illiterate. Furthermore, the use of slang, with colloquial
words that have contrary meaning or irrelavant to their orgin, is nothing
more than proving that they're complete ignoramii.

I have experienced such words in university
corridors as:

"allow" when what was intended was: "please stop it",

"seen" meaning: "Great, I understand",

"safe yeah" translating to: " Great!"

This is not a matter of opinion when I say:
those who practice such treachery against the English language might
aswell go and find themselves a soap-box to stand on to be publicly
humilated. Alas, that would only stoop to their level, and would never
be a viable option as they stopped making soap boxes a long time ago.
